I agree I love looking at people garage set ups and workshops but as said you never know who your showing or if they just want to see what you got and how secure it is!

No offence either mate but your new on the board and you can't be too carefull ya know,

I am mate.

I must have posted some old pics on there, as my S2 has been in there for the past two years.

I lost interest in the resto, but hoping to kick it off again soon.

Cheers,
Dave

This was my old one before we put in storage so a bit messy, hoping to extend my single garage at home soon.

Glenny Boy you must live in a nice area to be able to safely leave a cossie on the drive I reckon my car wouldnt last a week if i parked it on the street round here, be it due to vandalism and someone eventually turning up with a recovery truck to nick it,

His girlfriend lived there babysitting the place. He and XR Stu had their cars in it for months, and I think a fair few of us drove around in at quite high speeds! I think a photoshoot on the Reyland Escort was done in there for Redline too.

He didn't actually own it, he's not that loaded
